Building resilience isn’t about being fearless - it’s about taking one small step outside your comfort zone and realising you’re capable of more than you thought. 💪
Really proud to have collaborated with the University of Birmingham and Professor Ruth Page for their project, Influencer Stories of Mental Health and Young People.
A huge thank you to senior instructor and nutritionist Peter Antonio for sharing his wisdom and lived experience.
The key takeaways:
🎯 Purpose + identity matter: sport can give you direction, confidence, and a sense of who you are.
📈 Push your limits gradually: resilience grows when you challenge yourself bit by bit, not all at once.
🧘♂️ Go at your own pace: taking things step by step is not weakness; it’s how real growth happens.
